**You didn’t read my inquiry or response well enough. Elijah aside (As I said, the OT does not apply under the New Covenant), I fully embrace the power of God displayed by Jesus and through Paul.**

The Old Testament is the foundation of the new Testament. How many Bible Studies have you done where prophecies from the Old Testament were fulfilled in Christ.

Please do not be derogatory to the Jewish faith and the foundation of all Christian faiths.

The writer of Hebrews notes in a number of passages that the Law is changed... that is, a New Covenant is in place, more perfect than the old one (Heb 7-10). Additionally, he states that if one chooses to live under the old law, there is no further sacrifice for sin available in it (Heb 10:26).

It is clear that the more perfect New Covenant rules God's people in this age. The old Covenant remains useful for doctrine, reproof, edification and instruction to righteousness (2Tim 3:16), but God's people are not subject to it as we are to the New Covenant. If we were, then my eating habits would change, and many a false prophet needs be stoned to death.
